- Synopsis
- In the Balkan forests, one might find maple trees worth their weight in gold. This magical wood could create a priceless musical instrument; a violin as prestigious as an original Stradivarius.
  
  Gaspar Borchardt, a violin maker, is on this mission since he biked through Bosnia in his twenties and found the most perfect tree he has ever seen.
  
  He couldn't bring the wood back then but is on a mission now to find it again and create this instrument for the world-famous violinist Janine Jensen.
